You are all useless
Without shame watching us getting killed one by one
Will wait my turn to be killed by Israel
And believe me you are gonna do nothing
I left Gaza with a broken heart and eyes filled with tears.
There was no other option after 108 days of continuous massacres against us.
It’s time to move somewhere else so I can do more work and I pray that I can be a reason to stop this war and help rebuild Gaza again.
I’ve…
Day 61
We are supposed to go on without showing emotions or expressing how we feel about this genocide
This is the Palestinian life
We are still alive and we will never leave this land for them
If I called for huge protests all over the world, especially in the US to stop killing us and call for a ceasefire
Do you believe we could move the people to do it?
Ceasefire now!
From a guy who dreamed to travel and get the visa easily as a Palestinian, to a guy be printed on all the world walls as a hero
Damn, how the life changed in a short time
It’s 66 days not 63
Anyway, I am asking all the humans around the world, even animals to go and protest to stop the killing of us.
It’s simple, Stop Killing US !!!
Stop the Genocide
No more words needed
Ceasefire now!
Staying alive is more stressful than dying.
At least when you die you will not feel a thing.
We never had a choice, and when we do it’s about choosing to stay and die or leave and lose everything you worked for.
Most Palestinians born to be one of those things: A martyr, a…
Believe me or not
But I feel shame for just being a photographer who documents
I wish I could do more than just documenting and talking about it.
Be the one who stop this genocide
Israeli army arrested Palestinian civilians from a school in Beit Lahia in the north of Gaza Strip, and forced them to take off their cloths and left them in the cold street before detaining them They were all civilians
All this pressure on my mental health will make me pay a lot in the future
I feel my chest wants to go out by all of the blockade and shortage in every essential supply
My stomach feels like cut into parts and my brain is about to explode 🤯

Dear my people
I am very sorry for filming you in these circumstances and very sad for documenting this tragedy and showing you in your most difficult times.
I also want to tell you that when I saw you leaving the city behind, Gaza the city of love and war I wished to not be…
It was painful for me to be Isolated by some people from my community
Some of them asked me to not come to their places because Israeli occupation may kill me and they don’t want to die and some stopped to stand with me and even I felt like they are ignoring me.
I completely…
Day 42
We are living the most awful days in this life
It’s been a lot of hard times before, we been under Israeli occupation since 1948
This time is the hardest, death is the cheapest and the most easy thing to get
I’m losing weight and power
I start to cry the moment I watch a video for how Gaza was looks like before 7th of October.
Our life then was miserable and full with struggles but at least we have our city and we love it so much
They destroyed everything
Israel killed my friend, the drone camera operator so there will not be aerial footage to show the massive destruction on the main way in the middle area. Israel killed all the journalists with drones or intercepted and stole their drones as you saw before. But I’m trying to show…
I believe he was peacefully making a cup of tea before the Israeli warplanes bombed the house.
Israel must be proud about their speed to kill, they can do it before the cup of tea is ready, especially if the target is Palestinians.
I don’t want to imagine, I don’t want to…
100 days
Hundred days of losing, suffering, pain, fighting to survive and showing the RAW realities to the whole world.
With no lie, with no filters.
I showed the whole world the meaning of being Palestinian living in Gaza Strip.
I showed you how we love the life and how we…
No caption needed.
But if you care about us, escalate your efforts and do whatever you can to stop this genocide and demand a ceasefire before the end of this year. We can’t take it anymore
Rest in Peace buddy 💔
The most beautiful soul, the most compassionate person you’ll ever know.

was filling the water containers when the Israeli artillery opened fire on his house and the neighborhood.
I don’t know people are going to deal winter under this war, how are they going to find shelter and cover from this rain storm. How are they going to find food or hot water to keep their body warm in this cold. Ceasefire now
وكأن الهدنة جسراً تسير فيه نحو ضفة الموت الأخرى
تنتظر مصيرك لينالك ما نال الآخرين
هدنة لا شيء فيها يشبه الهدنة
فلا وصلتك مساعدات ولا استطعت حتى شراء ما يلزمك لأنه غير موجود
تستمر في معاناتك بينما ينعتك الآخرون بالصامد القوي فيرون بذلك انك اسطورة فترتاح ضمائرهم
وتصدق أنت تلك…
We are driving to Rafah border crossing to drop our colleague Ali Jadallah and his family to evacuate to Egypt. If you saw this video, it means we are still alive.
I received many threats and offers to stop, to leave, to surrender, to have the good life.
Never gonna leave my lovely strip behind and if Im gone, there’s brothers behind to continue showing the world the RAW realities.

A man is holding a little girl after he extracted her from under the rubble of her destroyed house by the Israeli war planes.
This photo have been taken by me from my street today.
My heart is deeply broken for losing more two of my colleagues and friends in an Israeli air strike.
One of them is the bigger son of
@WaelDahdouh
Hamza
That’s enough
I’m happy for completing my degree and my graduating ceremony
Israeli soldiers are happy for destroying one of the best universities in Gaza where thousands of students are being well educated.
Instead of being in Istanbul I’m above the water containers trying to get 3G connection so I can watch the award ceremony footage
I’m not even able to express how mad I am and can’t even thank people in a gentle way because I feel desperate and disgusted from my situation here…
What Im feeling because of this war: I have become to be a cold person despite the reality of me being always excited about things
I really don’t care about anything whatever is good or bad.
I am only curious about a cease fire
Connection lost
The maintenance team of the telecommunications company is not able to repair the damaged parts due to the heavy Israeli strikes in Khan-younes
I’m leaving now, it’s so dark and it’s scary especially after the Israeli tanks entered the middle area.
They got 3 people from under the rubble
A number of martyrs and injuries. I don’t know the final number yet
I went to the beach today and found a spot where I can watch the beautiful sunset from the middle area, and connect to 5G
A lot of people are over here for the same reasons
We missed our beach and the beautiful sunsets
I just don’t know..
What to do more, what to lose more or what to show more?
We all will be killed and terror will destroy us from the inside and no one will stop the genocide.
Stop giving advices you(The whole world)
It’s been a MONTH!

If you'd contemplated the victim's face and thought, you would have remembered your mother in the gas chamber, you would have liberated yourself from the rifle's wisdom and changed your mind: this isn't how identity is reclaimed!
The neighbours are cleaning the street after the massacre to allow people to walk and move with their cars
There was a massacre here 2 days ago
We don’t have the option to grieve
We don’t have the option to cry
We don’t have the option to keep silent and do nothing
I’m trying to reach the 3G or 4G with the esim, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t
You can hear the sound of drones and jet fighters
I’m trying not to fall down if they strike near here
And I don’t want no one to ask about my mental health. It’s gone.
Israel destroyed the Great Omari Mosque in Gaza, one of the oldest and most historically significant structures in both Palestine and the broader Middle East.
December 16th, it’s been 3 days without connection and internet.
I’m trying to connect via esim, but it’s useless because you need to be close to the borders and also be on a high place in order to connect.
The sky is full of apache helicopters, drones and jet fighters.
I’m inside the hospital, I went to ask about Layan’s case. I found that she passed 2 days ago after 7 hours of entering the hospital. She was deeply injured and she passed💔
Many people in the streets with nowhere to go to. Long lines of people waiting to get bread.
Anyone from outside Gaza that feels entitled to message me and say don’t post certain things is getting blocked. Stop messaging me from your comfort zone, this is our reality. You have…
Will I make it to the end of this?
(I don't know)
But what Im sure about is: I've delivered a RAW images to the whole world to watch what is really happening to the innocent people of Gaza strip.
Not funded, Moved or supported by any media or organization to do that.
I repeat…
A lot of people are asking me about how to give or where to give donations or even if they could give donations to me ?!
Let’s make this clear:
Number of people, journalists, and others
Started to share their stories to collect donations for themselves
Which is normal for…
